This invention relates to a coffee-mill, the novelty residin in the fact,4 that the coii'ee,

after being pre lniinarily ground, is fed toa pair of grinding stones, which effect a fine 5 pulvrization of the coffee. The use of art1icial grinding stones for nel pulverizing the coifee'instead of the grin in by means of iron toothed disks is novel an advantageous in coffee-mills aB such iron grinding disks, especially" after havin `beco1ne rusty during an extended perio of use, are apt to affect the aroma of the coffee very unfuvorably. Furthermore by thev employment of the artificial rindi 1e stones a greaterdegree of neness o the pu verization can be eiected,.so that the most profitable utilization can be made of the coffee-beans. In the illustrated form of construction of m improved coffee-mill the coffee, which is ed into the mill in vertical direction,` is conducted by means of a honzontally arranged conveying screw, which' acts at the same. time as preliminary grindin roller, to a pair of grmding stones, whic eect the fine pulverization of the coffee and then deliver the same in downward direction.4

- In the .accom anying drawing Fig. 1 is a si e view, partly in'section of'a codec-mill constructed in accordance with the present invention, and

Fig. 2 is a front View of the middle part ou? the same. v v Y The gear casing l consists of two pressed halves 1 and 1", which are connected to each other by rivets or other suitable means, and is secured Ato the wall-board l1 'b screws, which pass through the eyes 10. ithin the casing the horizontal shaft 9 is mounted, to

reliminarily ground which the conveying screw 4 is secured, which acts at the same time astprelirniner grinding '4o roller. The code is ed lfrom t e store e receptacle 7 through the feed dpipe 2'of t e casing to the screw roller 4 an is conducted by the same towards the right tothe grindin stones 5 and 6, while the coffee during sai 45 conyeying movement is at the same,time relinunarily ground. The etationar grin stone 5 encircles the end of the rol er4, while the rotatable griudin stone 6 ia keyed to the 'shaft 9 at the end o the roller 4. Said ro. 50

tatable' stone 6 cooperates with the rear Iface of the stationary grinding stone, so that the coiee after bein inel nulverized between the grinding sur sceso the two stones drops f down through the delivery pige 3 of t e casel hic ing` into the receptacle 8, w is removably supported in aguide 3. The coee mill is operated in a known manner by meansjof a hand crank. The grinding stones can be adjusted in regard to each other by axial dis- `placement of the shaft 9 b .and grin ing stones adapted to final grin the coffee beans subsequent to their being preliminarily ground by said conveying screw. In testimony whereof I aix m si lature.
